You're right, title should be:
	mk: fix 32-bit link with gcc

And I should add some details in the commit log:

I didn't see any error with -z muldefs but it isn't documented in gcc manual. 
So it's safer to explicitly pass it to the linker.

The variable CPU_LDFLAGS contains "-melf_i386" in 32-bit configurations. So 
building 32-bit shared library raises this error:
	gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-melf_i386’

Olivier, I'll make these changes if you (or Neil) ack the patch.

Thanks for review
